The information below shows four identical wagons loaded with different amounts of bricks.

Wagon W - two pounds of bricks

Wagon X - three pounds of bricks

Wagon Y - four pounds of bricks

Wagon Z - five pounds of bricks

If the same amount of effort is applied to all four identical wagons, why would Wagon W move farthest?

• It has the least amount of mass, affecting its motion.

• It has the least amount of speed, affecting its motion.

• It has the greatest amount of gravity, affecting its motion.

• It has the greatest amount of friction, affecting its motion.

Katie was pulling a sled with her puppy in it. Katie’s sister then got into the sled with the puppy. How would the sled’s speed most likely change after Katie’s sister got into the sled?

• The speed would increase due to the change in mass.

• The speed would decrease due to the change in mass.

• The speed would increase due to the change in friction.

• The speed would decrease due to the change in gravity.

Noah is pushing a wheelbarrow of rocks. She stops and unloads half of the rocks. How will this effect the force needed to move the wheelbarrow?

• Gravity is increased, making the wheelbarrow easier to move.

• Gravity is decreased, making the wheelbarrow harder to move.

• Friction is increased, making the wheelbarrow harder to move.

• Mass is decreased, making the wheelbarrow easier to move.

Students rolled a 22-gram car down three different ramps. The results from the investigation are shown in the table.

Which statement BEST explains why the car rolled down the wood ramp the fastest?

• There was more force applied to the car on the wood ramp.

• There was less friction on the surface of the wood ramp.

• The wood ramp was higher than the other ramps.

• The car on the wood ramp had more mass.

Jan has two identical magnets on her metal cabinet. She hangs a drawing using Magnet 1. She tries to hang a calendar using Magnet 2, but the calendar falls to the floor.

Which BEST explains why Magnet 1 can hold up the drawing but Magnet 2 is unable to hold up the calendar?

• The area near Magnet 1 has extra metal.

• The area near Magnet 1 has extra metal.

• The area under Magnet 2 has more gravity.

• The calendar has a greater mass than the drawing.
